CHARLES EDOUARD LOUIS DIDELON, OF PARIS, FRANCE.

DEVICE FOR SUPPLY I NG LIQUIDS.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 698,265, dated April22, 1902.

Application filed February 26, 1902. Serial'No. 95,809; b (No model) inthe following specification.

This invention relates to a novel automatic supplyregulator for liquidsat a variable level.

The device is illustrated by way of example in the accompanyingdrawings.

Figure 1 is a front elevation of the apparatus, and Fig. 2 is a sideelevation of the same.

The apparatus consists, essentially, of a siphon 3, provided with abasket 10 and sus-' pended from a screw which passes through a nut e. Tothis nut e is attached a frame a, to the lower part of which is fixed afloat f. The Whole is suspended from a cable 12, passing over a pulley61. At the other extremity of this cable is attached a counterweighth,which partially balances the weight of the siphon, of the float, andof the frame. The pulley d is supported in a framework 70,.which alsoserves to guide the frame vc by means of four rollers g and a slideway'6. The framework carries a graduated scale m, over which is displacedan index 1", fixed to the screw v. This scale indicates the supplycorresponding to the various positions of the siphon with respect to.the float. A roller q serves to guide the siphon s-against a partition,so as to maintain the two legs vertical. The same result may be attainedwith a movable counterweight 5. A cook a, placed at the highest part ofthe siphon, permits of discharging the air in order to charge thesiphon.

If it is desired to Vary the supply, it is only necessary, as isapparent, to raise or lower the siphon, because the supply depends uponthe height 2. provided with a hand-wheel e, which is acted upon so as toeither raise or lower the screw '0 and with it the siphon. The graduatedscale m permits of regulating the position of WVith this object the nute is v the apparatus, so that it furnishes a predetermined supply.

Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my saidinvention and. in what manner the same is tobeperformed,

I declare that what I claim is An automatic supply-regulator for liquidsat a variable level, characterized by a siphon fixed at the lowerextremity of a screw, the upper extremity ofvwhich is attached to acable passing over a pulley-to the other end of which is fixed acounterweight partially balancing the weight of the siphon; the screwsupporting the siphon being displaced by means of a nut and hand-wheel,a graduated scale over which passes an index fixed to the screw,indicatingfor each position of the siphon the volume of thecorresponding supply, as above specified.

In testimony whereof I have signed this specification in the presence oftwo subscribing witnesses. I 1
